江苏省无锡市市北高级学校2022-2023学年高二下学期3月月考英语试题和答案详解
江苏省无锡市市北高级学校2022-2023学年高二下学期3月月考英语试题和答案详细解析(题后)一、阅读理解1. 1. Scenic landscapes on stamps: A nine-day tour in the cities of Xuzhou,Suqian and Huai'an in northern Jiangsu province.This route is associated with local culture, characteristics, and creativity. It offers a taste of the famous canal cities.2.Life on the Grand Canal: A seven-day Jiangsu tour through the cities of Nanjing, Suqian, Huai'an,Yangzhou and Suzhou.This route presents the most authentic, economic, cultural and entertainment-focused activities along the canal from both ancient and modern times.I allows visitors to ride in boats and observe local fishermen fishing.3.Food,culture,leisure and health;Seven-day experience of local life in Zhenjiang Changzhou,Wuxi and SuzhouTo increase tourists’ interest in the traditional culture and crafts of Jiangsu, the route will include pottery,embroidery(刺绣), paper-cutting, cooking and other hands-on experiences. It includes scenic spots along the Beijing-Hangzhou Gran Canal, ancient water towns, historical streets and ancient fishing villages.Visitors can join in the recreational farmhouse experience and pick up both fruits and vegetables4．A walk into history: Six-day tour in Xuzhou, Suqian,Huai’an,Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Changzhou and WuxiThe Beiing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs through the entire province and has been a part of Jiangsu's culture for thousands of years. Inspired by the canal, the route includes historical cities Xuzhou, Suqian, Huai'an,Yangzhou along with Zheniang Changzhou and Wuxi.1. Which of the following do the four travel routes share?A．A time duration of less than a week.B．Ancient towns in southern Jiangsu.C．The Grand Canal.D．The city of Suqian.2. Which route is the best for an in-depth tourist who wants to cover fewer cities with more time?A．Route 1B．Route 2C．Route 3D．Route 4.3. What can you enjoy in the route only covering Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou and Zhenjiang?A．Rowing a boat.B．Trying on paper-cutting.C．Growing vegetables.D．Fishing with local villagers.2. Although it’ll take weeks to harvest all of their cabbage, farmers in a town in Pingdu, Shandong province, have started preparing to sell the vegetables to overseas markets.Li Wenbin, who runs a vegetable trading business in the town of Renzhao, said his fresh vegetable sales to overseas markets mainly in Japan, South Korea and Malaysia doubled to 20,000 metric tons last year due to high demand for kimchi, a dietary staple in South Korea.South Korea suffered from an abnormally long rainy season and three typhoons last year that damaged large amounts of Chinese cabbage, the major ingredient(原料) for kimchi, creating high demand for the vegetable.“Based on the current performance of vegetable exports in parts of southern China, such as in Fujian province, we predict this year’s business won’t be sad,” said Li, adding that he is confident because vegetables from Renzhao are competitive in terms of quality and price.Around 120 kilometers west of Pingdu, vegetable traders in Shouguang, Weifang, one of the country’s major vegetable production bases, have started exporting this year’s carrots. Pei Shengji, manager of Zhonglong Food, headquartered in Shouguang, said the harvesting of the company’s 65-hectare carrot growing base in Fujian is in full swing. All of the carrots will be processed and shipped to overseas markets.What’s more, Shandong province is developing seeds to meet diverse needs for quality crops, which helps to support the agricultural sector. “The seed developed domestically brings rich harvests. The Chinese cabbage tastes good and is good for being preserved,” he said. Besides, it’s much cheaper than foreign seeds.Unlike Li, who can choose quality Chinese cabbage seeds developed in China, Pei has to spend more buying foreign seeds because there are no domestically developed carrot seeds available. According to Weifang’s five-year plan, the seeds of medium-and high-end vegetables such as bell peppers, broccoli and carrots will be researched and developed.1. Why did the fresh vegetable sales to markets in South Korea double last year?A．Chinese cabbage tastes better than others.B．Kimchi is a favourite food in South Korea.C．China has a vegetable trade with South Korea.D．Vegetables there experienced climatic disasters.2. What is Li Wenbin’s attitude to Chinese vegetable trading business?A．Indifferent.B．Doubtful.C．Optimistic.D．Pessimistic.3. What does the underlined part “in full swing” in Paragraph 6 mean?A．In ruins.B．Under way.C．In the dark.D．On the scene.4. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A．Pei bought foreign carrot seeds at a lower price.B．Overseas markets are fond of Chinese vegetables.C．More seeds in high quality will appear in the future.D．All the seeds developed in Shandong are not productive.3. Social media is taking over our lives: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and now, TikTok. These social media platforms have transformed from a way to stay connected to an industry where even kids can make money off their posts. While this may seem like another opportunistic innovation, it’s really full of hidden false realities.The median income (中位收入) recorded in the United States of America was about $63,000 in 2018. TikTokers can make anywhere from $50,000 to $150,000 for a TikTok brand partnership, and TikTokers with over a million followers can make up to $30,000 a month — $360,000 a year. They are making more than the average person trying to feed their family and keep a roof over their heads, simply by posting a 15-second video.This is mad in more ways than one. Not only is it an overpaid “job”, it promotes undeserved admiration from viewers and a false sense of reality. Many of these famous TikTokers are still teens, and the effects of fame at such an early stage in life might cause issues later in life, such as mental illness. Teens between the ages of 13 and 17 make up 27% of TikTok viewers, who can be easily influenced by what they are watching. They can put a false sense of self-value into who they look up to and what they represent: money, fame, being considered conventionally attractive.While TikTok has become a great tool for marketing, it’s important to understand how this content affects young viewers. If we’re constantly consuming content that hsows us all we need to do to be successful is be conventionally attractive and post a 15-second video featuring a new dance, it will challenge our knowledge of what really makes someone successful and will in turn affect our individual work ethics (伦理). What about the people who miss birthdays and family holidays due to their jobs and aren’t getting paid nearly as much as these TikTokers?Richard Colyer, president and creator of Metaphor, Inc., had his own view on this issue.“It sounds great that kids can make money for doing the latest dance moves in a 15-second video, but we should feed the minds of kids and not just their bank accounts. TikTok can be great if used properly. Money alone is not good, technology alone is not good and connectedness can be bad if it’s only online.”Again, as a fellow consumer of TikTok, I do enjoy the app when I have some time to kill and need a good laugh. I’m not against someone making a living on entertainment, but what does getting famous of a 15-second video teach young people?1. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A．Social networking.B．Making money on social media.C．A job offered by TikTok.D．Staying connected to the Internet.2. Which is the possible influence of TikTok on its young users?A．They tend to live an adult life too soon.B．They are forced to pay for certain services.C．They may abandon other social media.D．They are likely to develop false values.3. What can we infer from Richard Colyer’s comments?A．TikTok can be a positive influence if teens employ it wisely.B．Young TikTokers should be banned form making money.C．It is better to involve education on investment in TikTok videos.D．Contents of videos need checking before their release online.4. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A．Say No to TikTok.B．Join Young TikTokersC．TikTok — A Mine of Money D．A Job vs An Entertainment4. The common cuttlefish is just as smart as a human child when it comes to a certain cognitive test, according to a new research.When given the sweet test, which tests a person’s ability to understand delayed satisfaction, cuttlefish passed with flying colors. In the classic psychological experiment, a child is given a sweet with the instructions that if they can resist eating the sweet treat for 15 minutes, they’ll be given another and allowed to eat both.“Cuttlefish in the present study were all able to wait for the better reward and tolerated delays for up to 50-130 seconds, which is comparable to what we see in some clever animals such as monkeys, crows and parrots,” said lead author Alexandra Schnell.The researchers found the cuttlefish that delayed satisfaction for longer had better learning performance.Six common cuttlefish were placed in a tank with two clear boxes. One had a live grass shrimp — their favorite food and the other had a less appetizing shrimp. Researchers painted symbols on the doors. Triangle is for a delayed opening, and circle is for opening straight away. When presented with their favourite food behind the triangle door, all the cuttlefish chose to wait.The study also tested the cuttlefish’s ability to learn, by switching the symbols on the doors and what they meant. The cuttlefish that learnt to adapt to the changes fastest also scored the longest delayed satisfaction scores. While researchers don’t know the exact reasons for their intelligence, they suspect it’s something to do with the way of gathering food.“Cuttlefish spend most of their time hiding, sitting and waiting, having short dining time. They don’t hide when they dine, so they are exposed to their enemies. We assume that delayed satisfaction may have evolved as a byproduct of this, so the cuttlefish can benefit by waiting to choose better quality food.” said Schnell.1. Why is the classic psychological experiment mentioned in Paragraph 2?A．To show children’s ability to tolerate.B．To attach importance to the researchers.C．To state children prefer to have sweets.D．To prove cuttlefish are highly intelligent.2. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?A．Why the researchers design the test.B．How the experiment is carried out.C．How the cuttlefish recognize shapes.D．What the cuttlefish’s favorite food is.3. The cuttlefish’s intelligence may be a result of .A．the walls having ears.B．letting the cat out of the bag.C．the survival of the fittest.D．putting the cart before the horse.4. Where is the passage most likely from?A．A newspaper on science.B．A website on table manners.C．A brochure on education.D．A magazine on fashion design.二、七选五5.

There are many ways to stop hitting the snooze button. 5 .

上海市进才中学2023-2024学年高二下学期3月月考英语试题
上海市进才中学2023-2024学年高二下学期3月月考英语试题一、语法填空Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Over the past decade or so, biologists have shown that we are filled with microbiomes (微生物组), inside and out. This microbiome, 1 (compose) of bacteria, fungi and viruses, profoundly influences our health and fitness and sometimes is even linked to our emotional state.The oral microbiome gets far less attention, but we 2 (know) of it for a long time. In 1891, US dentist Willoughby D．Miller first proposed that bacteria could leave the mouth, travel to other parts of the body and cause disease. We only began to get supporting evidence in 1989, when researchers noticed that people who had experienced a heart attack were rated as having oral health that was about twice as poor as 3 of a control group. Even when age, social class and smoking habits 4 (account) possible factors, the results remained almost the same. A solid link seemed to be there.More recently, thanks to DNA sequencing technology, by cataloguing the microbes in our mouths, we are now finding that the types of bacteria people have 5 (live) there seem to be associated with a growing number of conditions like cancer. Perhaps the most striking example is Alzheimer’s disease. It can be found that people with gum (牙龈) disease are 6 increased risk of developing this condition, which slowly robs people of their memories, personalities and cognitive function. However, until recently, it was unclear 7 poor oral health was a contributing cause of Alzheimer’s or a consequence of it.Then, in 2019, scientists discovered some species of bacteria known 8 (cause) gum disease — including one called Porphyromonas gingivalis — which are inside the brains of people who died of Alzheimer’s disease. If the mouth bacteria were getting into the brain, that lent weight to the idea that they could be a cause of Alzheimer’s.Researchers are still trying to grasp how this could happen. 9 the mechanism is, they note that there may be a way you can protect yourself in advance. Dental scientists at theUniversity of Melbourne, Australia, is developing a vaccine against gum disease 10 you can reduce the risks of gum diseases significantly.二、选词填空Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Luxury brands used to speak in monologues. However, nowadays, influencers are becoming the ambassadors of those luxurious brands.In the age of social media, the buyers are having a voice in products, in particular, the influencers. These individuals have won large followings by 11 and attacking occasionally a variety of products. Their fame stems from the clever use of Instagram, Snapchat or TikTok. Their posts seem trivial. Their business isn’t.For consumers, influencers are at once a walking advert and a trusted friend. For the brands, they are a(n) 12 . And for regulators, they are the subject of ever closer review. On March 29th, news reports 13 that China’s authorities were planning new restrictions concerning livestreaming platforms. The limitations 14 how much money internet users can spend tipping their favorite influencers, how much those influencers can earn from fans and what they are allowed to post.There hardly exists any 15 of the size of the influencer industry. One in 2020 from the National Bureau of Statistics in China, where influencers gained prominence earlier than in the West, assessed its contribution to the economy at $210bn, equivalent to 1.4% of GDP. As with many things digital, the pandemic seems to have given it a(n) 16 as more people were glued to their smartphones more of the time. The influencer ecosystem is challenging the 17 principle of luxury-brand management. Apart from being one-directional, campaigns have tendedto be 18 , unchanging and expensive. The same smile from the same photograph of the same Hollywood star would induce passers-by to purchase an item for many years. Such star-led campaigns can be unappealing to teenagers and 20-somethings 19 authenticity over timeless glamour. And influencers, with their girl-or boy-next-door charm, offer this for a small portion of the fee of a big-name star. The best ones are able to repackage a brand’s message in a way that is 20 with their voice, their followers’ tastes and their platform of choice. So to be a top-ten brand, you have to know how to play the digital game. If you don’t, you are not going to be top ten for very long.三、完形填空A cancer diagnosis will force King Charles III out of the public eye for the foreseeable future. For a highly 21 royal family that has cultivated its public image through countless appearances a year — ribbon-cuttings, ship launchings, gala benefits and so on — the marginalization of Charles may finally force the royals to rethink how they 22 themselves in a social-media age.The king’s illness is the latest 23 to the British royal family, which has seen its ranks thinning by death, scandal (Prince Andrew) and self-exile (流放) (Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan). Regardless of what is predicted, it appears that the king’s cancer presses the royal family into 24 territory.The answer to it, royal watchers argue, may be 25 . During the coronavirus pandemic, Elizabeth conducted meeting s via Zoo m calls,becoming 26 enough with it that she made jokes with the digitally distorted faces on her computer screen.Social media can also be employed to enhance the 27 exposure of family members. The royal family’s Instagram account 28 more than 13 million followers. But for young people, who spend whole day following their favorite celebrities online, a royal turning up to dedicate a new primary school may not 29 as much as it did to their previous generations.Prince Harry, the king’s younger son, fell out bitterly with his family after his 30 from royal duties and relocation to California in 2020. Undoubtedly, the greatest burden falls onthe mere remaining 41-year-old heir (继承人), William, who has been recognized as a qualified successor for 31 a role on issues from climate change to homelessness. Meanwhile, he has jealously guarded his family’s 32 , demanding his office release no photographs of three young children visiting their mother in the hospital. That approach stood 33 his father, who approve the disclosure of an unusual amount of detail about his recent cancer diagnosis. The scrutiny (审查) of William will 34 increase, experts said, as he occupies a more central place in the Windsor family hierarchy.Queen Elizabeth viewed assuming kingly duties as so 35 that she steeled herself, two days before her death at 96, to meet with the outgoing prime minister in Scotland, masking her own condition. Charles, though, has departed from long family practice “in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer.”21．A．apparent B．controversial C．visible D．generous 22．A．project B．market C．illustrate D．propose 23．A．witness B．blow C．solution D．disloyalty 24．A．uncharted B．unnoticed C．indefensible D．inexcusable 25．A．human-initiated B．strategy-focused C．technology-drivenD．goal-oriented26．A．frustrated B．preoccupied C．content D．comfortable 27．A．in-depth B．in-person C．in-between D．in-built 28．A．claims B．calculates C．confirms D．clarifies 29．A．matter B．contribute C．relate D．bring 30．A．dismissal B．survival C．withdrawal D．renewal 31．A．carving out B．applying for C．identifying with D．reflecting on 32．A．connection B．priority C．presence D．privacy 33．A．in parallel to B．as opposed to C．on behalf of D．in honor of 34．A．scarcely B．effortlessly C．approximately D．inevitably 35．A．grave B．distinct C．exceptional D．progressive四、阅读理解First, I must get settled into school. My classes begin today at the PRIVET! Russian Academy of Language Studies, where I will be attending class five days a week, four hours a day.I know I am such a shameless student. I laid my clothes out last night, just like I did before my first day of first grade, with my patent leather shoes and my new lunch box.The last thing I want is to end up in a Level One class, which would be so humiliating for me. Given that I already took a whole entire semester of Russian at my Night School for Divorced Ladies in New York, and that I spent the summer memorizing flash cards. The thing is, I don’t even know how many levels this school has, but the me re mention of “level” sparks a resolve within me to aim for Level Two—at least.It’s such a hard test! I can’t get through even a tenth of it!In the end, it’s OK, though.So it’s hammering down rain today, but I show up early, wander about the school and smugly walk past all those Level One students (who must be cookies, really) and enter my first class. Here I am with my peers. But it becomes swiftly evident that these are not my peers and that I have no business being here. I feel like I’m swimming, but barely. Like I’m taking in water with every breath. The teacher, a skinny guy (Why are the teachers so skinny here? I don’t trust skinny Russians.), is going way too fast, is skipping over whole chapters of the textbook, saying, “You already know this, you already know that…” and keeping up a rapid-fire conversation with my apparently fluent classmates. My stomach is gripped in horror and I’m gasping for air and praying he won’t call on me. Just as soon as the break comes, I run out of that classroom on wobbling legs and I scurry all the way over to the administrative office almost in tears, where I beg in very clear English if they could please move me down to a Level One class. And so they do. And now I am here.36．What do we know about the writer from the first two paragraphs?A．She is a newly-admitted student majoring in language teaching.B．She has no knowledge of this foreign language and is put to shame.C．She is full of anticipation and readiness for new educational pursuit.D．She attends the same school to build upon prior academic achievements.37．What does the underlined word smugly in paragraph 5 mean?A．arrogantly B．furiously C．secretly D．nobly38．Why does the writer withdraw from Level Two class in the end?A．The teacher singles her out for her inability to converse smoothly in foreign language.B．The age and culture divide leads to an overwhelming sense of alienation with classmates.C．The unexpected discomfort in her stomach prompts a pause in regular learning activities.D．The unthinkable difficulty in catching up with the teaching rhythm destroys confidence. 39．What might be the best title of the passage?A．Well Begun, Half Done.B．An Idle Youth, A Needy Age.C．More Haste, Less Speed.D．No Pain, No Gain.I guess I was a little bored. For the past hour, I’d been on the phone with Daniele, the head of my office in Italy, reviewing our latest purchases of Italian gold, Murano glass and Italian-made shoes and handbags.“Daniele,” I said, “What is the hottest jewelry in Italy right now?” His reply? Woven gold bracelets studded with gems. He texted me some photos and I knew immediately that this was jewelry that Raffinato just had to have.RAFFINATO IS ONE OF AMERICA’S LARGEST RETAILERS OF ITALIAN-MADEJEWELRYPresenting the Italiano Fantasia Bracelets, two designs that are prime examples of Italy’sfinest artisanship.

Although the Georgian structure was praised for its handsome Greek Revival style by Nikolaus Pevsner, an architectural master, it was built for horses, not cars. Repairs will close the bridge for several months, causing bigger jams and more pollution in a city where air quality is already a cause of concern.Bath is an extreme example of a tradeoff faced by much of the country. Britain has the oldest housing stock in Europe, with one in five homes more than 100 years old. Period features are valued and often protected by law. Yet as efforts to cut carbon emissions intensify, they are contradicting attempts to preserve heritage. It is a “delicate balance” says Wera Hobhouse, Bath’s Member of Parliament (议员) “What is the public benefit of dealing with the climate emergency, versus protecting a heritage asset?”Two years ago, Bath was among the first British cities to declare a “climate emergency” when it also promised to go carbon-neutral by 2030. Yet Bath also wants—and is legally required to preserve its heritage. With Roman remains and Georgian streets that spread across the Avon Valley in shades of honey and butter, the city is designated a world heritage site by UNESCO. About 60% of it is further protected by the government as a conservation area, more than 5,000 of Bath’s buildings—nearly 10% of the total—are listed as being of special architectural or historical interest, making it a criminal offence to alter them without permission.Many of the features that make Bath’s Georgian buildings so delicate also make them leaky. Buildings of traditional construction make up 30% of Bath’s housing stock but take up 40% of domestic carbon emissions, according to the Centre for Sustainable Energy, a charity. British homes are rated for energy efficiency on a scale from A to G; most traditional buildings in the city are an F or G.Transport is another area where climate and heritage clash. Bath’s 17th-century streets lack room for bike lanes. Joanna Wright was recently relieved of her role as Bath’s climate chief after proposing that North Road, which leads to the university, should be closed to traffic. In two years she was unable to install any on-street electric-vehicle charging points, partly because of the “nightmare” of getting permission to dig up old pavements.All this means going carbon neutral by 2030 looks hard, but the city is at least beginning to make compromises. In March it launched the first “clean-air zone” outside London, charging drivers to enter central Bath. A trial has made 160 electric motoreycles available to hire. And local opinion seems to be shifting in favour of sustainability. “The discussion has moved dramatically towards considering the climate emergency,” says Ms. Hobhouse.43．What problem does Bath face?A．It is getting more and more crowded due to the maintenance work underway.B．Its housing stock with a long history are being altered without authorization.C．Its historical significance makes it hard to be reformed into an eco-friendly city.D．Its promise to go carbon-neutral by 2030 is greeted with doubt from its citizens. 44．The percentage mentioned in the underlined sentence (Paragraph 4) is intended to _________.A．highlight the long history of Bath’s building complexB．show the low energy efficiency of the historic buildingsC．illustrate the delicate features that Bath’s buildings shareD．challenge the validity and credibility of the A-G scale45．Why was Joanna Wright removed from her position?A．She proposed the North Road not be accessible to the public.B．She failed to solve the conflict between transport and heritage.C．She stood right in the way of the heritage preservation efforts.D．She struggled to get authorized to dig up those old pavements.46．What can be inferred from the passage?A．Wera Hobhouse keeps a balance between public benefit and heritage protection.B．Traditional buildings in Bath are not available to visitors not having permits.C．Bath has been setting the pace for the construction of a carbon-neutral city.D．Local people in Bath used to favor heritage conservation over sustainability.Immersive Art Draws People InWith bold, swirling brushstrokes (绘画技巧) and vivid colors, Vincent van Gogh’s stirring Starry Night brings to life a turbulent (汹涌的) sky. It’s one of the most recognizable paintings in the world. And gazing at the scenic canvas can make museum visitors feel starstruck.But seeing this masterpiece on a gallery wall isn’t the only way art fans can experience its impact 47 . They find themselves surrounded by shimmering colors that dance before their eyes and ripple (涟漪) at their feet. These exhibitions digitally project moving images onto walls, floors, and sometimes onto viewers themselves. They are examples of immersive art.48 . While it can be hard to characterize, it’s generally a multisensory, an interactive event that engages viewers and lets them feel like part of the artwork. One thing is certain — these exhibitions have been wildly popular — selling out tickets in cities worldwide.Van Gogh gained fame only after his death. In fact, the 19th-century painter sold just one painting during his lifetime. But now he is immersive art’s biggest superstar. His work has been showcased in various exhibitions featuring immense images. 49 . One show, Van Gogh Alive, has appeared in 65 countries since 2011. It even features a signature scent for visitors to sniff. Shows of other artists — including Monet, Renoir, and Chagall — have lit up venues, too.The popularity of immersive art has been powered party by social media. As visitors post selfies featuring van Gogh’s art or videos of friends stepping into a fantastical fridge, these experiences draw bigger and bigger crowds. 50 . That’s because many curators and creators share a common goal — to help more people get into art!A．Immersive art doesn’t simply mean sitting in a glass case or fitting in a frame.B．The art work is animated and accompanied by music, voices, and background sound.C．In fact, some exhibits give people a chance to be enveloped by van Gogh’s celebrated painting. D．Meanwhile, traditional museums are following the trend and applying immersive technologies E．Critics once described his work as a multidimensional mystery house leading to secret passages.F．More important is the ability to bridge the gap between traditional art spaces and modern audiences.五、书面表达51．Directions:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Preventing ResistanceThe development of drug-resistant pathogens (病原体) can be prevented in at least three ways. First, sufficiently high concentrations of the drug can be maintained in a patient’s body for a long enough time to kill all sensitive cells and hold others long enough for the body’s defenses to defeat them. Discontinuing a drug before all of the pathogens have been neutralized promotes the development of resistance. For this reason, it is important that patients finish their entire antimicrobial prescription (抗菌药物) and resist the temptation to “save some for another day.”A second way to prevent resistance is to use antimicrobial agents in combination so that pathogens resistant to one drug will be killed by the second, and vice versa. Additionally, one drug sometimes enhances the effect of a second drug in a process called synergism. Enhanced effect can also result from combining an antimicrobial drug and a chemical.A third way to reduce the development of resistance is to limit the use of antimicrobials to necessary cases. Unfortunately, many antimicrobial agents are used indiscriminately, in both developed countries and in lessdeveloped regions where many are available without a physician’s prescription. In the United States, an estimated 50 percent of prescriptions for antibacterial agents to treat sore throats and 30 percent of prescriptions for ear infections, are inappropriate because the diseases are viral in nature. Likewise, because antibacterial drugs have no effect on cold and flu viruses, 100 percent of antibacterial prescriptions for treating diseases are unnecessary. As discussed previously, the use of antimicrobial agents encourages the reproduction of resistant bacteria by limiting the growth of sensitive cells; therefore, inappropriate use of such drugs increases the likelihood that resistance of bacteria will multiply.In order to maintain the effectiveness of antimicrobial treatments, responsible practices must be implemented._______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________六、翻译52．你要认识到：如果感觉困难，放平心态，那是因为它真的很难。

甘肃省兰州第一中学2022-2023学年高二下学期3月月考英语试卷(含答案)
甘肃省兰州第一中学2022-2023学年高二下学期3月月考英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the famous ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?Jane Addams (1860-1935)Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American women to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson (1907-1964)If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exit today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.Sandra Day O’Connor(1930-present)When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Standford La w School in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona State Senator(参议员) and in 1981, the first woman to join the US Supreme Court(高等法院). O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.Rosa Parks (1913-2005)On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison, b ut it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. (抵制行动) It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movements.“the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.” said Parks.1、What is Jane Addams famous for in history?A.Her social workB.Her teaching skillsC.Her efforts to win a prizeD.Her background2、What was the reason for O’Connor’s being refused by the law firm?A.Her lack of the training in law.B.Her little work experience in courtC.An unfair treatment to the womenD.the poor financial conditions3、Who made a great contribution to the civil rights movement in the US?A.Jane AddamsB.Rachel CarsonC.Sandra Day O'ConnorD.Rosa ParksPassenger pigeons(旅鸽) once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks(群) so large that they darkened the sky for hours.It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans’ need for wood, which scattered(驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1,1914.4、In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons _______.A.were the biggest bird in the worldB.lived mainly in the south of AmericaC.did great harm to the natural environmentD.were the largest population in the US5、The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeons’ _______.A.escapeB.ruinC.liberationD.evolution6、What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?A.To seek pleasure.B.To save other birds.C.To make money.D.To protect crops.7、What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?A.It was ignored by the public.B.It was declared too late.C.It was unfair.D.It was strict.Some parents will buy any high-tech toy if they think it will help their child, but researchers said puzzles help children with math-related skills.Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children the University of Chicago, found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills. Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition(认知) after controlling for differences in parents’ income, education a nd the amount of parent talk, Levine said.The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child-parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age.“The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate(旋转) and translate shapes,” Levine said in a statement.The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would, and about half of children in the study played with puzzles at one time. Higher-income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently, and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills. However, boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than parents of girls.The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science.8、In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play?A. Building confidence.B. Developing spatial skills.C. Learning self-control.D. Gaining high-tech knowledge.9、What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment？A. Parents’ age.B. Children’s imagination.C. Parents’ education.D. Child-parent relationship.10、How do boy differ from girls in puzzle play?A. They play with puzzles more often.B. They tend to talk less during the game.C. They prefer to use more spatial language.D. They are likely to play with tougher puzzles.11、What is the text mainly about?A. A mathematical method.B. A scientific study.C. A woman psychologist.D. A teaching program.When milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note –“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”—and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically(魔术般) appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we p ut the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete(竞争). Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch(门廊). Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.12、Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer _____.A.to show his magical powerB.to pay for the deliveryC.to satisfy his curiosityD.to please his mother13、What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?A.He wanted to have tea there.B.He was a respectable person.C.He was treated as a family member.D.He was fully trusted by the family.14、Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A.Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B.It has been driven out of the market.C.Its service is getting poor.D.It is forbidden by law.15、Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A.He missed the good old days.B.He wanted to tell interesting stories.C.He needed it for his milk bottles.D.He planted flowers in it.二、七选五16、Tips for Cooking on a Tight ScheduleFrom my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money, and time. ①_____ Money is a topic I'll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:1.Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there’s nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? ②_____2.Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? ③_____ It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.3.④_____This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully that gives you a good start. ⑤_____ And don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A.Try new things.B.Ability is easily improved.C.Make three or four instead.D.Understand your food better.E.Cooking is a burden for many people.F.Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.G.A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.三、完形填空（15空）Many Chinese people used to 1 each other with “Have you had your meal?” to show their friendliness.

More people are becoming 10 with various terms, such as “low calories”, “sugar cutoff” and “light food”.“I used to eat a lot of unhealthy food, which brought me much 11 , ” Chen said. “Now my health indicators(指标) are becoming 12 , and I can feel that my body is in good 13 again.”Chen is not alone. Many Chinese are troubled with “diseases of richness”, including obesity and high blood pressure, as the quality of life has greatly 14 over the past decades.

浙江省杭州2022-2023学年高二下学期3月月考英语试题含解析
A.thatB.whatC.whetherD.where
【答案】D
【答案】infectious##nfectious
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：笑是最具感染力的表达方式之一。根据句意和首字母提示可知，此处填形容词infectious“感染的”，放在expressions前作定语，故填infectious。
3.S________nothing, he walked right into the trap.（根据首字母单词拼写）
【点睛】名词性从句考查的关键是连接词的选用和语序，因此，我们首先要搞清从句的性质，掌握各连接词的用法，在此基础上判断．此外，关注名词性从句用陈述语序．题干中is being accepted 是谓语动词，前面是主语从句，第一个空用that引导，因为主语从句中不缺少成分，也不需要翻译，第二个空是be动词后面的表语从句的引导词，表示"职业"，用whatever，去掉逗号中间插入的部分可知，is前的主语从句"girls can be whatever they would like to be"从意思到成分都是完整的，故选择在名词性从句中不担任成分，无意义的that，

If you haven’t, you should have.It’s here, it’s growing and it’s having an influence on our life. Surf the Internet and you’ll find blogs everywhere. A blog, shortened from “weblog”, is a public Internet journal written by one perso n or a group of people. It is a website in which a person or a group can place news, personal thoughts, text, photos, video or audio files, or links upon which visitors can ment. A blog lets you post on the Internet without having to know web design or be technical. You are given an environment to make dated entries on the topic of your choice which are “published”, so other people can read them.Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Blogging has revolutioniz ed Internet publishing in the last sever al years because it gives everyone with Internet access the opportunity to bee an online writer. Objects, such as “text and photos” in a blog can be called “blog posts”, “posts”, or “entries”. The person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”.Now, somewhere around the world, a blog is created almost every 6 seconds. Because it’s great potential, Bill Gates views it as im portant as e-mail, BBS, and MSN. He’s trying to make blogs the important tools for future business munications.56. A blog is .A. a mentB. an Internet journalC. a designD. a link57. A person can do the following things in a blog EXCEPT _______.A. talk to othersB. give mentsC. read articlesD. enjoy photos58. Who is a blogger?A. A person who posts letters.B. A person who writes articles.C. A person who posts text or photos in a blog.D. A person who is an online publisher.59. From the passage we know that .A. Bill Gates will invent some tools for blogsB. blogs will be an important business munication tool in the futureC. so far, only a few persons have created blogsD. blogs will replace e-mail, BBS and MSN in the future60. According to the passage, the reason why blogs are so popular is that they ____.A. give everyone the chance to be an online writerB. can be created by people without much knowledge of puter technologyC. enable a blogger to place news, personal thoughts, text and photos and give mentsD. all of the above（B）Some people say that the best way to reduce the size of your waist is to do stomach exercise. Many people believe that when specific muscles are exercised, the fatty tissues (组织) in the immediate area are burned up. The truth is that exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one specific area. Of course, if you reduce the fat throughout your body, you will certainly see results around your waist too.Some people believe that you need to exercise twice a week in order to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness. However, studies directed by American scientists show that unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly. Within 48 to 72 hours, you must use the muscles again to reestablish (重建) the good physical effects. And what does that mean to you? American scientists concluded that while daily exercise is most helpful, exercising every other day or three days a week will keep a sufficient level of physical fitness.Is it true that you burn more calories running one mile than walking the same distance? The answer is no. The truth is that you use the same amount of energy whether you walk or run the mile, since in both cases you are moving the same weight the same distance. The speed does not matter. Of course, if you run rather than walk for 30 minutes, you will cover more distance, and therefore burn more calories.If your breathing doesn’t return to normal within 5 minutes after you finish exercising, you have exercised too much. Five mi nutes or so after exercising, your breathing should be normal, your heart shouldn’t be beating loudly, and you shouldn’t be tired.61. If you want to reduce the fat around your waist, you should ____.A. do stomach exerciseB. exercise the waistC. exercise all the muscles of your bodyD. run fast for 30 minutes62.. From the second paragraph, we learn that ____.A. we only need to exercise twice a weekB. we should exercise three times a weekC. muscles lose their strength after 48 hoursD. we should exercise every other day, or three days a week63.. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _________ .A. you will lose more weight running one hour than walking one hourB. whether you run one mile or walk the same distance, you use the same amount of energyC. you will lose more weight running one mile than walking the same distanceD. both A and B64.. If you have exercised too much, _______.A. your breathing will take longer than 5 minutes to return to normal after you finish exercisingB. your breathing will return to normal within 5 minutes after finishing exercisingC. your heart will not be beating loudlyD. you will be too tired to move65. This passage tells us that _________.A. it is better to do more running than walkingB. the more exercise you do, the healthier you will beC. the unexercised muscles must be used again within 48 to 72 hoursD. in order to lose weight, you have to run fast（C）We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control. Sometimes a single unimportant event may cause a number of things to happen. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this causes your troubles to begin. While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the tablecloth off the table, destroying your half-prepared meal. You hang up hurriedly and attend to your baby. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if this is not enough to bring you to tears, your husband arrives home, unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.Things can also go wrong on the road. During rush hour one evening two cars collided and the drivers began to argue. The woman driver behind the two cars happened to b e a learner. She got into a panic and stopped her car. This forced the driver following her to stop suddenly. This driver’s wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake, and as she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the window and landed on the road. A truck driver seeing a cake flying through the air slammed on the brakes. The truck was carrying empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the truck onto the road, causing a terrible traffic jam. It took the police an hour to get the traffic on the move again. In the meantime, the truck driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two dogs were enjoying themselves, for they were happily having what was left of the cake.66. If you want to answer the phone without a ny trouble, you’d better ___________ .A. pull out the telephone line when you are with your babyB. put your baby on the bed and keep an eye on him / herC. not hurry to answer the phoneD. make sure your baby is not near the table67. Who is responsible for the accidents that happened on the road?A. The two drivers who were arguing.B. It wasn’t mentioned in the passage.C. The woman driver.D. The truck driver.68. From this story we learn that ________.A. there are many road accidents every dayB. the accidents mentioned in the passage are very strangeC. no one knows why this kind of accident happensD. the accidents menereherhtioned in the passage are very mon69. The writer’s purpose in writing this passage is to ___________.A. remind us not to answer the phone when we are busyB. tell us driving is dangerous every dayC. remind us not to be nervous when we meet an accidentD. remind us not to carry a cake when we are sitting in a car70. The main idea of this passage is that ________.A. troubles always e in groupsB. accidents may happen anywhere at anytimeC. a telephone call may cause great troubleD. anyone may have trouble on their way home五．翻译短语：( 5分)71.取笑__________ 72。

2022-2023学年度第二学期3月份第一次质检考高二级英语科试卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
AIf you find yourself lonely on Feb.14,it's technically possible to be happy when you have Netflix.Clueless(1995)When it came out in 1995,“Clueless”was a modern movie on the classic Jane Austen novel “Emma.”Today,it's a sad,somewhat retro(怀旧的)story about a high school girl(Alicia Silver stone)who finds joy in bringing together couples around her,while remaining single and particular about who she chooses to date. She soon finds love in an unexpected place.How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)As a journalist,Andie (Hudson)in the film is assigned a special task where she has to write about her experience trying to make a man fall in love with her,followed by making him want to break up with her. The assignment goes to unexpected places when Ben(McConaughey)enters the picture.The Imitation Game(2014)Strange things happen when people fall in love with machines;it's actually happening with today’s technology. In“The Imitation Game”,which is set in the 1940s,tells the true story of Alan Turing and his team to break the German secret codes to win World War II. Although the film is largely about code breaking efforts,it also delivers on some love,both machine,and human.Frances Ha (2013)Filmed in black and white,“Frances Ha”begins with a bad breakup and is followed by the journey of Frances Halladay(Greta Gerwig)to become a professional dancer. It's a touching adventure with plenty of love along the way.1. What do we do with NetflixA. To find friends.B. To see films.C. To surf the Internet.D. To shop online.2. If you are interested in wars,which film do you think is your favouriteA. Clueless.B. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.C. The Imitation Game.D. Frances Ha.3. Whose story do you think is the most inspiring in the passageA. Alicia Silver stone's story.B. Alan Turing's story.C. Andie's story.D. Frances Halladay's story.BAn afternoon nap(午睡)is one of the joys of life,although too much napping could signal all is not well. In some cultures,people will have a daily nap—this is fine. The warning comes when people start sleeping during the daytime,when they did not sleep before. There is certainly a good reason to believe that daytime sleepiness—as in the Alzheimer's disease study—can be a marker of an underlying condition.For most people,napping during the day is mainly a sign that you are not getting enough sleep at night,says Dr. Neill Stanley,a sleep expert.“If yo u feel sleepy during the day,you should think about taking a nap. That is what the body needs —it doesn't need to be kept awake with caffeine. It needs sleep.”The feeling we should notice is“sleepiness”,he says.“It's not tiredness,which could be more psych ological and linked to stress.”So how do you nap well The key thing,says Stanley,is how long your nap lasts. Choose either a 20-or 90-minute nap.“When you fall asleep,you'll quickly go through the lighter stages of sleep into your first period of deep sleep. You don't want to wake up because that's when you wake and feel worse than you didbefore.”Napping for 20 minutes means you will wake up before you go into deep sleep;napping for 90 minutes means you'll complete a sleep cycle.Once you factor in the time it takes to fall asleep—“Some people are better at napping than others but,”says Stanley,“a healthy adult will fall asleep in between 5 and 12 minutes.”—you can set an alarm,allowing a 30-to 40-minute period for a short nap,and up to two hours for a longer one.A good time to nap is during the body's natural dip in the afternoon,between 2 p. m. and 4p. m.“You don't really want to be napping much past that because then you are going to be eating into your night-time sleep,”Stanley says. The point,he stres ses,is to get good night-time sleep,which would ensure you probably don't need to nap at all.4. What does an afternoon nap indicate for most peopleA. Caffeine addiction.B. Psychological stress.C. Insufficient night sleep.D. Potential physical illness.5. What is the key to a good napA. Duration. B . Surroundings.C. Health.D. Stages.6. What does the underlined word“that”in the last paragraph refer toA. A 30-to 40-minute period.B. Between 2 p. m and 4 p. mC. Between 5 and 12 minutes.D. A 20-90-minute period.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the textA. Why to Phase A NapB. When to Take A Good NapC. What to Learn From A NapD. How to Have A Successful Nap2CIn the 17th century,the Netherlands experienced a period of artistic prosperity known as the Dutch Golden Age. During this period,artists found inspiration in Northern Renaissance painting techniques,contributing to masterpieces like Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer.Known as the“Mona Lisa of the North”,this painting represents the best of Dutch art and it has become one of the most beloved paintings in art history.Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer is famous for his paintings of contemporary Delft,a city in Holland where the artist was born,lived and died. Girl with a Pearl Earring is Vermeer's most well-known work of art. However,it did not attain international fameat its time of completion. That came about at the end of the 20th century,when it was featured in a special exhibition in Washington,D. C.Girl with a Pearl Earring does not show a specific person. Instead,it shows an unknown girl dressed in grand clothing,who is“like a vision coming from the darkness”and“belongs to no specific time or place”,art historian Arthur K. Wheelock explained.Vermeer is known for his ability to create shapes and forms using light rather than lines. This characteristic approach is particularly evident in Girl with a Pearl Earring. First,he would“invent”,or create an initial drawing on the canvas. Then,he made a single colored underpainting(底层色).Next,he added color. And,finally,in order to make the piece extraordinarily bright,he would apply a thin layer of glaze(釉)to certain parts of the painting.In addition to its fascinating context and appealing beauty,the piece is celebrated for the mystery that surrounds it.“When you think about Mona Lisa,she is also looking at us,but she isn't engaging—she’s sitting back in the painting,self-contained,”Tracy Chevalier,the author of The New York Times’best-selling historical novel,Girl with a Pearl Earring,points out.“While the girl with a pearl earring in the painting is right there—there is nothing between her and us. She has this magical quality of being incredibly open and yet mysterious at the same time—and that is what makes her so appeal ing.”8. What inspired the creation of the painting Girl with a Pearl EarringA. The appearance of the girl.B. Vermeer's international fame.C. Previous artists'painting skills.D. Encouragement from other artists.9. What do we know about the painting Girl with a Pearl EarringA. It is set in the artist's birthplace.B. It makes the artist famous overnight.C. It describes a particular and famous girl.D. It is regarded as a match for Mona Lisa.10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk aboutA. The subject of the painting.B. Techniques used in the painting.C. The historic value of the painting.D. The mystery behind the painting.11. How does Tracy comment on the painting Girl with a Pearl EarringA. By citing a theory.B. By giving a definition.C. By offering an example.D. By making a comparison.3DHave you ever suddenly developed an appetite from a passing glance at a freeway billboard featuring a brightly colored cheeseburger,or decided to step into a candy or ice cream store displaying a window full of lively shades and hues(色调)of sweet treats If so,you are in good company. Unless we are medically restricted or strictly dieting,we are not likely to resist inviting fare simply because we recognize the lack of nutritional value.Devina Wadhera and Elizabech D. Capaldi-Phillips in A Review of Visual Cues Associated with Food recognize the impact of sensory cues(信号)on food consumption and enjoyment,and the potential they have to promote healthy eating behavior. They cite previous research in providing some interesting examples of thevisual impact of different color schemes(方案)on taste and food enjoyment. They note that pink food on a white plate was considered sweeter and more flavorful than the same food on a black plate. Apparently,we consume with more of our senses than we realize. So given the rainbow of colors around us when faced with so many appealing food choices,is there any way to control our appetite Thankfully,some research says yes.Oliver Genschow demonstrated that when it comes to eating less colors impact consumption!They specifically researched the effect of the color red. They found that people ate fewer pretzels when using a red plate,as opposed to white or blue,and drank less from a red cup than a blue cup.They suggest that the color red reduces food and drink intake by functioning as a stop signal.But when it comes to healthy eating,instead of putting on a pair of sunglasses to block the inviting hues of food cues,consider the value of discipline. Healthy eating involves intentional choices,not mindless responses to sensory cues. And before you invest in many red tableware to slim down,remember that what goes onto those plates is much more important.12. What may be a major reason for us to refuse eye-catching foodA. The shortage of nutrition.B. The rich color of fine foods.C. The doctor's instructions.D. Advertisements everywhere.13. What might be dealt with in A Review of Visual Cues Associated with FoodA. Benefits of different color schemes.B. Interesting examples of food service.C. Potentials to promote food consumption.D. Effects of sensory cues on eating behavior.14. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraphA. Follow the sensory response.B. Make food choices sensibly.C. Wear sunglasses to block colors.D. Avoid colorful food intentionally.15. What is the best title for the textA. How People can Control Their Appetite.B. How People are Tricked by Color Schemes.C. How Colors Impact Food Appeal and Appetite.D.

They say that their parents don’t understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways, that they are too serious and too strict with their children, and they seldom give their children a free hand.It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when young.For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Olderpeople worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.Young people often make their parents angry with their choice in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble: it is just that they feel cut off from the older people’s world, into which they have not yet been accepted. That’s why young people w ant to make a new culture of their own, and if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say, “ Yes” to what you do. All you want is to be felt alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents’ control.If you plan to control your life, you’d better win y our parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.56. ___ are to blame for the quarrels between parents and their children according to thispassage.A. ParentsB. Young peopleC. Neither parents nor their childrenD. Both parents and their children57. According to the passage, young people prefer to ___.A. ask for advice before they really start to do anything.B. do things without thinking carefully ahead.C. think in the same way as their parents do.D. be very strict with themselves58. Young people like to have clothes, entertainment and music in their way, because____.A. they want to make their parents happy.B. they try to get their parents to believe them.C. they want to try on something new and look different from the older.D. they want to test whether they are cleverer than old people.59. According to the passage, young people want to make a new culture of their own,because ___.A. they don’t feel they belong to the world of the older people.B. they do not want to get into trouble.C. they feel they are as clever as old people.D. they want to show they have grown up.60. If a young man intends to control his own life, it’s better for him to ___.A. do everything according to his own wish.B. do everything the way his parents do.C. do everything beyond his parents’ control.D. hold himself responsible for everything he does.BMany large cities in the United States and around the world have an area called Chinatown. Each was set up by people who came from China. For example, Chinatown in San Francisco California, began in the 1840s. Gold had been discovered in California. Chinese immigrants came to America in search of wealth. They lived in an area that later became known as Chinatown. Nearly all the immigrants were men. Their hard work was quickly recognized. In 1850, San Francisco Mayor John Geary held a ceremony saying Chinese efforts improved the city. Today, Chinatown is a leading cultural influence in San Francisco. Many people visit the area.Chinatowns were also set up in cities in the western states of Oregon and Washington during the middle of the 19th century. Many Chinese in these areas helped build the first railroad across the United States. However, after the work ended in 1869, many Chinese moved to the eastern and middle parts of the United States. The first Chinese arrived in Chicago, Illinois, in the 1870s. Many of them first opened clothes-cleaning businesses and low-cost eating-places. Chicago’s Chinatown has grown over the years.Chinatowns also can be found in cities outside the United States. For example, the first Chinese in London arrived in the late 18th century. They were men who worked for the East India Company. Later , Chinese operated small stores and eating places that were visited by Chinese sailors traveling through the city. Today, many people visit London’s Chi natown. It has special Chinese Gates and walking areas for visitors. Chinatowns around the world are not only places where Chinese people live and work. They are also places where visitors can learn more about Chinese culture and traditions.61. Visitors come to Chinatown because _______.A. there are many stores and eating places operated by the ChineseB. all the immigrants from China have settled in the areas for a long timeC. the areas are provided with rich Chinese cultureD. visitors can learn something from the immigrants62.

When drivers see this sign they must not go at more than thirty miles an hour.We see this sign when we get to parts of the country where there are many houses and other buildings, for example, when we are getting near a town. Thirty miles an hour is the speed limit. Number two is sign for the end of the speed limit.We are out of the town now and may go at more than thirty miles an hour. Number three is a sign that we are near a crossroads, that is, a place where two roads cross. We must drive carefully.Number four is a sign that there is a bend in the road. Again, we must drive slowly and carefully.Number five is a sign that there is a hill and number six is a sign that the roads get narrow. Drivers must go slowly and carefully.Number seven has the word “school” on it.This is a sign that there is a school at the side of the a street or road. Perhaps there are children going to school or leaving school. So drivers must look carefully and go slowly until they are past the school building.Number eight is a sign with the letter P on it. The letter P is for “parking.” A parking place is a place where drivers may leave their cars. If the driver of the car wants to leave his car and go to the shops, he looks for this sign. Then he knows that he may leave his or her car there.64.Who will most probably read the passage?A.People who drive badly.B.People who are learning to drive.C.People who drive well.D.People who drive carelessly.65.When a driver sees the sign number one, he must .A.always go at 30 miles an hourB. go at more that 30 miles an hourC. not go at more than 30 miles an hourD. stop66.If a driver wants to leaves his car and go to the shops, .A. he can leave his car anywhereB. he can leave his car at the gate of any shopC. he must look for the sign with the letter P on itD. he can leave his car at the side of the street.DBeauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and more respectable jobs. Personal advisor give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer onattractive defendants, but in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plainer ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more womanly and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the "manly" qualities required.This is true even in politics. "When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently," says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told what the photographs were of. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.67. According to the passage, attractive people are those who are ______.A. good-lookingB. humorousC. well-educatedD. capable68. The author of the passage intended to show us that people' s views on beauty are ______.A. out-of-dateB. practicalC. reasonableD. one-sided69. Which is TRUE according to the passage?A. Appearance is important in finding a good job.B. Attractiveness is of great advantage to his or her success.C. Attractiveness is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women when it comesto politics.D. Attractiveness has more effect on men than on women.70. In traditional female jobs, attractiveness ______.A. strengthens the womanly qualities requiredB. always makes it easier for women to succeed quicklyC. makes women look more honest and capableD. can be a liabilityEAfter the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report: The damage and death toll（死亡人数）could have been much worse.More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity（强度）that shook America in 1988 claimed 25 000 victims.Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holida y, when traffic was light on the city’s highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city’s buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes（抗震）.Despite the good ne ws, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints（蓝图）for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, which bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact(冲击) of ground vibrations(震动，颤动). The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations. When the ground shakes an d the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.The mew(鹰笼, 巢, 隐匿处)smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.71. One reason why the loss of lives in the Log Angeles earthquake was comparativelylow is that_______.A. new computers had been installed in the buildingsB. it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highwaysC. large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD. improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways72. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to_______.A. counterbalance（起平衡作用）an earthquake’s action on the buildin gB. predict（预测）the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC. help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD. measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations73. The smart buildings discussed in the passage________.A. would cause serious financial problemsB. would be worthwhile though expensiveC. would reduce the complexity of architectural designD. can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes74. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing（使……最小）the damagecaused by earthquakes, attention should be focused on_______.A. the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB. the development of flexible building materialsC. the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD. early forecasts of earthquakes75. The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to_________.A. compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U.SB. encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computersC. outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materialsD. report new developments in constructing quake-resistant buildings第二卷（共35分）第四部分：写作(共两节，满分35分)第一节：短文改错(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分)Before 1949, women in China were badly looking 76.down upon.
